The GeForce 200 Series is the tenth generation of NVIDIA's GeForce graphics cards. The series also represents the continuation of the company's unified shader architecture introduced with the GeForce 8 Series and the GeForce 9 Series.

GeForce GTX 200

The GTX 200 series, codenamed "GT200", was launched on June 17, 2008 with the release of the GeForce GTX 280. The GTX 260 was launched on June 26. The cards measure convert|10.5|in|cm in length. Both cards have two dual-link DVI connectors and a HDTV/S-Video out connector. The GTX 280 requires both an 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe power connector, while the GTX 260 requires two 6-pin connectors.cite web |author=Lal Shimpi, Anand and Wilson, Derek |url=http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3334&p=1 |title=NVIDIA's 1.4 Billion Transistor GPU: GT200 Arrives as the GeForce GTX 280 & 260 |publisher=AnandTech |date=June 16, 2008 |accessdate=2008-06-16]

Both models support the same nVidia technologies: CUDA 2.0, PhysX and an upgraded version of PureVideo (with complete H264/VC1/MPEG-2 video-decoding.)

GTX 280 / GTX 260

The GeForce GTX 280, the top end model, launched at $649 [http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/37961/135/] , while the GTX 260 launched at $399 [http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/37961/135/] . After the launch of the competing ATI Radeon HD 4800 series, GTX 280 based cards dropped to about $499, and the GTX 260 dropped to about $329.

The GeForce GTX 280 and 260 are based on the same processor core. During the manufacturing process, GTX chips are binned and separated through defect testing of the core's logic functionality. Those that fail to meet the GTX 280 hardware specification are re-tested and binned as GTX 260 (which is specified with fewer stream processors and a narrower memory bus).

As of June 2008, the GT200 is the largest commercial GPU ever constructed. It consists of 1.4 billion transistors covering a 575 mm2 die surface area built on a 65 nm process. [cite web |author=Abi-Chahla, Fedy and Charpentier, Florian |url=http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-gtx-280,1953-12.html |title=Nvidia GeForce GTX 260/280 Review—Specifications: Better! |pages=p.12 |publisher=Tom's Hardware |date=June 16, 2008 |accessdate=2008-06-16] To date, the GTX 280 is the largest CMOS-logic chip that has been fabricated at the TSMC foundry.

As of August, GTX 280 based cards dropped to about $450, and the GTX 260 dropped to about $299.

Technical summary

Future

The GT200 series will move to 40nm process in early 2009.The D12U is expected to be released in late 2009.It can also be expected that there will be a mobile version of the Geforce 200 Series.
